“I had a hunch,” he chuckled in reply. This gave Malik an unassuming, yet tough appearance. She was dying, and he was the only chance she had. “Ok, cutting to sub-light engines,” Serra said. “So, I understand you and Malik had a little… encounter earlier.”
Nira at first had a panicked look on her face before lowering her head in shame. “What? I bet you do…”
Realizing what he had said, Malik tried to backtrack. The group eyed them for a moment, but soon focused their attention elsewhere. “We’ll look it up once we head back to our ship.”

“But singular love is still an attachment. It doesn’t matter if we live for another century or die tomorrow, I want to travel this galaxy with you by my side.”
Serra choked back another couple of tears, then walked forward and wrapped her arms around Malik’s neck.
